JOHN BENDER, JR.
l'r. Brnil Believed to be the son OF
the Kansas Bender.


uALENA, His, May l2.-Strenuous eff
forts are being made to clear up the
mystery surrounding the life of DIR.
CHARLES Brnil, who committed suicide
recently in the county Jail at Dodge
vile, Wis. while his preliminary ex-
animation OH the charge of having
murdered his wife was in progress.
With this end in view letter was
written few days ago, from the home
OF the deceased in Avoca. Wis, to the
medical college that he graduated
from, and the answer to the letter was
that no man named Charles Bruil had
graduated therein, but that there was
one named Charles Bender who grad
nated that year, and who answered the
description of DIR. Bruil. 1t is now be-
lieved that DIR. Brull was one of the
notorious Bender family of Kansas.
The Bender family, it will be reme,n-
oered, consisted OF old John Bender
aud his wife and a son and daughter,
John and Kate. John was "a years old
at the time of the discovery of their
crime, and their flight from Kansas. 1t
is believed in Avoca that DIR. Charles
Bruil was none other than John Ben
der, ]r., and that, unable to conceal his
identity from his wives, as soon as it
became apparent to him that they
Knew anything of his identity and
former life. he murdered them.

sational wedding occurred near here,

ried a daughter of a widow living near

poor woman, everybody said it was a
good bargain for her, as Smith was
considered at that time an industrious
man. They lived together peacefully
for month or SO when their connu-
bal bliss faded away. They separated,
she going her way and he his. A di-
yorce was applied for and granted at
the last session of court. Several
weeks ago Smith again came into the
neighborhood, and seemed to hover
around the scene Of his withered atfec-
tions. They were again aroused, but
this time they were centered in the
mother of the daughter that was once
his lawful wife. Their love was CON
sNmmated and the widow and her SON
in-law were made man and wife. She
is about twice his age.
